Transformers: Real Gear Robots

Since Mattel's Computer Warriors toyline from 1989-90, I've always loved that "tiny warriors fighting a war in our own backyard" genre.

Seeing the world through the eyes of beings MUCH smaller then ourselves is interesting & presents a lot of different story options; getting to the roof of an apartment building for us is easy, but imagine how long it'd take a person only 6" tall to get up there? Or what if they ran into an animal along the way? Or a human?

What I'm doing here is creating a world like that using the Real Gear transformers. I've made up bios for each of the first 6 real gear robot toys that are out & will be posting them in this thread sometime during this week.

In the meantime, here's a teaser to the Real Gear Robots photo story I'm working on:

In our world...a war is secretly being fought
between a race of alien robots.

So yeah, this is really just the teaser before I get started on the actual "comic" itself. So, lemme know what you think so far (although there's not much to comment on) & stay tuned for more stuff!!

Awesome, glad you guys are digging this idea! I'm gonna have to get crackin' then LoL.

In the meantime (no pun intended), while I get stuff ready for the first episode/comic, here's some Bios of the 6 Real Gear Robots I have that will be in the comics. I've done them up ala the More Then Meets the Eye comic books & I think they came out really awesomely if I may say so myself.

The background for my version of the story, is that the Real Gear Robots (R.G.R.s) are a new Sub-Group in a Alternate Universe Generation 1 continuity. The big 'bots will never show up in the strip, as this focuses on the little guys, although odds are they will be mentioned here & there.

Basically, after the war was brought to earth, the Micromaster technology was micro-sized again, making even smaller robots. The Decepticons planned to send 3 of their newly re-formatted R.G.R.s down to earth to try to break the human's world down from the inside. When the Autobots found out about this, they got their own R.G.R.s & sent them down to Earth with the intention of stopping the Decepticons from causing some serious damage.

Currently they're all in a small town somewhere, trying to set up base camps, as they don't have ships (both sides basically shot the each group down to earth in these very thick meteor-like pods) to travel around in or even live in. Plus, being 4-to-5 inches tall means getting around on foot is gonna take a while.

Okay! So here's the bios, in alphabetical order:

As for where Meantime, High Score, Night Beat & Wiretap are, I'll make up bios for those guys & work them into the story as soon as I'm able to actually find them in the store. My area still has a TF drought, only new things I've seen are some voyagers, Robot Heroes & FABs. But believe me, I wanna put those guys into the story as they seem to be really cool little characters.

More on the story, as it develops & hopefully the next time I post there will be episode #1 here.
